#TheLastDance
A principios de los 80, Adidas lideraba el mercado de las zapatillas deportivas ya que había logrado convertirlas en un básico urbano gracias a en parte a contratos como por el ejemplo el firmado con la banda de Hip hop 'Run DMC'. Image
En otoño de 1984, Jordan firmó un contrato con la humilde entonces marca Nike a razón de 2 coches de alta gama y 500.000 dólares al año durante 5 años y con una premisa: diseñar unas zapatillas a su gusto.
No era su 1a opción pero sus padres y representante lograron convencerle.

Sabeu què passa? Doncs que #AixòsAcaba #EstoSeAcaba #ThatsAllFolks #GameOver #TheLastDance. I evidentment, en moments així, la desorientació afecta tothom: els del discurs mainstream i els que hem estat més crítics. I els gregaris, on incloem els polítics, no saben on anar [FIL]
Qualsevol diria, doncs, que ara és el moment de comprometre el lideratge del discurs mainstream: de disputar-li l'hegemonia. I certament és veritat que el discurs mainstream està debilitat: no s'ha provat l'efectivtat de les mesures, les corbes estan sent erràtiques,...
... i la immunitat -impulsada per les vacunes- està funcionant millor del que es preveia. Per què? Senzillament perquè la immunitat ha estat sempre el camí i perquè, si protegim els vulnerables, és game over. Quelcom que alguns fa dies que deien (i se'ls va menysprear).

Honestly I’m so sick of people telling me to watch that Michael Jordan documentary that I’m gonna do it. “ya know I don’t even like basketball but I loved #TheLastDance” oh shut up I’ll watch it.
I’ve watched two episodes and that’s enough. It’s interesting. But too slow. I’m never watching anything without fight scenes ever again.
Also I love how I’m supposed to feel sorry for Scottie Pippen getting paid 18 million over six years or whatever back in the 90s.

¿Qué tienen en común Massimo Bottura, Michael Jordan y Bjarke Ingels? Que son los mejores en lo suyo y saben hacer Producto mejor que nadie. Son auténticos Product Managers.
Dentro hilo 👇🏽
Siempre he tenido la convicción de que existen otras disciplinas en las que podemos inspirarnos y no solo en el ámbito de Producto Digital. ¿Por qué no fijarnos en los magníficos chefs que se dan cita en Chef’s Table?
¿Por qué no fijarnos en los Bulls de @Jumpman23 y @PhilJackson11 en #TheLastDance 🏀?

. @netflix has revealed that #TheLastDance sports documentary series was watched by 23.8 million users outside of the US in its first four weeks.
Netflix is notoriously secretive with its viewing figures and its selectively reported 23.8 million audience metric is based on how many accounts watched #TheLastDance for at least two minutes.
#TheLastDance returned big numbers for @espn. The US linear broadcasts averaged 5.6 million viewers across all ten episodes, making it ESPN's most-viewed documentary in history.

¿Craig quién?

Mucha gente que vio #TheLastDance no sabría decir quién es este señor que en 1992, después del segundo título del primer "Threepeat", fue cortado por los Bulls y ningún equipo se interesó por él.

¿Por qué no hay ni un fotograma de Hodges en todo el documental?
Es al menos raro que Craig Hodges, un jugador de 32 años con 10 de experiencia en la NBA, un 40% en triples, dos campeonatos de la NBA y tres torneos de triples ganados de forma consecutiva (único además de Larry Bird en lograrlo) desaparezca de la liga de un día para el otro.
"Buscando la verdad", eran las cuatro palabras usadas por él para auto describirse en un cuestionario entregado a los jugadores por el departamento de RRPP de los Bulls. Esa verdad estaba para él relacionada con el activismo y el involucramiento en asuntos extradeportivos.

[HILO] Extractos de las memorias inéditas de Jerry Krause, todavía no publicadas.

"Nos reunimos a principios de julio de 1998 Jerry Reinsdorf, yo mismo, Jim Stack, Al Vermeil, los médicos y cirujanos del equipo."

#NBA #BullsNation #TheLastDance
"Le habíamos pedido al entonces asistente Chip Schaefer que presentara un informe escrito sobre la salud del equipo."
"La primera pregunta que hice fue cuánto creían que podíamos sacar de Luc Longley, un futuro agente libre que habíamos tenido que dosificar periódicamente en los últimos años debido a sus tobillos. Los médicos pensaron que se derrumbaría rápidamente."

Got hold of some data on #TheLastDance and it's absolutely mindblowing how the series was consumed. As a start, the series was @espn's most watched documentary series EVER.! The @Jumpman23 of ESPN series.
The series, which debuted in April, averaged 5.6 million viewers throughout its run. The series was also a hit on social media. It was the trending topic on Twitter for five straight Sundays, according to ESPN.
According to an ESPN release, Episode One of #TheLastDance averaged 6.3m viewers, while Episode Two averaged 5.8m viewers across ESPN and ESPN2. ESPN aired an uncensored version, while ESPN2 removed the rough language for a younger audience.

On 13th June 1997, a man named Steve Kerr took a very important shot in a very important basketball game.

Steve’s story can teach us a valuable lesson about how we react to #coronavirus.

It’s time for another history lesson from Doncaster Council.
Anyone who has binge-watched #TheLastDance during Lockdown probably didn’t expect Doncaster Council to be tweeting about Michael Jordan and Co’s exploits, and linking it to a global pandemic.

Nevertheless, it’s happening.

Here we go.
So, the Chicago Bulls were neck-and-neck in the 6th game of their epic NBA finals face-off with the Utah Jazz.

With 28 seconds remaining in the game, the score was tied at 86-86.

Vistos os dez episódios de #TheLastDance, duas vezes cada, aqui vão alguns comentários sobre três momentos marcantes de um documentário histórico. Não, não se trata de um ranking. E não, você não precisa ter essas mesmas impressões. É apenas um relato particular.
O primeiro talvez seja o maior elogio jamais feito a Michael Jordan. Não foi uma frase, nem mesmo uma palavra. Foi uma expressão sonora, o que se chama de onomatopeia. Seu autor foi o jogador favorito de Jordan. Magic Johnson (Ep1, 37:14) descreveu o impacto inicial de...
... Jordan na NBA, mencionando seus atributos: "O equilíbrio, o trabalho de pés, os fundamentos... o cara era hmmm... huhmm". O final da frase é dito balançando a cabeça, como se ele estivesse - talvez estivesse mesmo - se referindo a alguém que não poderia existir. Veja, não...

Y #TheLastDance termina con la canción "Present Tense" de @PearlJam, compuesta por Eddie Jerome Vedder. Aunque su banda está relacionada al movimiento grunge de Seattle, Eddie nació en Evanston, Illinois, un suburbio cercano a Chicago.
Eddie es fan de los Bulls. Muy fan. Esto siempre lo charlamos con @luisezegarra.
¿Y saben quién es fan de Pearl Jam?...

Man. Why ESPN choosing to throw LeBron James under the bus?

BTW: LeBron is the better passer
#TheLastDance
And he's way more of a community philanthropist than MJ.
Who empowered their FRIENDS more?

The History of the Chicago Bulls Dynasty, by Jack M Silverstein.

A work in progress, in 72 parts.

A thread.

#TheLastDance
As I work on "6 Rings: The Bulls, The City, and the Dynasty that Changed the Game," my work on the dynasty Bulls will continue to deepen and expand.

But as we prepare for the final night of #TheLastDance, I want to look back at what I've done so far.

This thread is most of what I've ever written about the dynasty Bulls. It goes without saying that there is much more to come.

Want to follow my journey from research to book in real time?

THREAD🏀 Looking forward to the final episodes of #TheLastDance tonight? @salbonoie took a closer look some of the stories that the @espn docuseries highlights. ietv.co/2WEWy2h
1/🏀 #TheLastDance chronicles the final season and subsequent history of Michael Jordan’s tenure with the Chicago Bulls. In its first weekend of episodes, the series showed that there was more drama off the court than on. ietv.co/2yTVkaB
2/🏀 By June 1993, the Bulls had just won their third straight NBA Championship and the man known as “Sir Airness” had become a global icon. But just a month later, tragedy struck when Jordan's father, James, was murdered. ietv.co/3fYSjXd

1- Muitos já sabem o quanto sou viciado em #NBA e, consequentemente, a importância de #TheLastDance na minha vida (especialmente em quarentena). Naturalmente, estou vendo TUDO relacionado à série e, como diretor de TV, compartilho aqui uns detalhes de produção bem interessantes!
2- O diretor Jason Hehir já tinha boa parte de alguns eps montada, mas as últimas entrevistas com MJ foram feitas só em Maio de 2019. Em Jan/2020, eles não tinham nenhum episódio completo 😱!
Na 2a entrevista ele tava sem o charuto porque a mãe viu imagem da 1a e deu esporro.😂🚫
3- O cronograma de produção, especialmente finalização, foi MUITO apertado pra uma série dessa envergadura. No início desse mês eles ainda estavam fazendo cor e som dos eps 9 e 10!
PS: geralmente também finalizamos os últs eps do #QMEE qndo os primeiros estão indo ao ar.

I've been in and out of the room on Sunday nights during #TheLastDance and I've missed pieces here and there that I then catch during the week. Catching up on ep7 — definitely surprised they skipped this play.
But I think I'm more surprised (and I discussed this on @LockedOnBulls last night) that the doc isn't doing a great job of tying together the two timelines: the '97-'98 story with the flashbacks. There is a huge reason why this play is so important:

In 1994 and 1995, without MJ, Scottie Pippen was a top-5 player in the NBA.

Not hyperbole:
